I love wine. Especially Riesling. My husband is a wine maker and we live in the Finger Lakes Wine Country. It's a big part of who we are. I miss it more than any food. I'm waiting until Memorial Day to drink. I used to be able to drink 2 bottles of wine by myself. I'm excited that I will only need a glass now.

Giving up caffeine has been so hard for me to do, I had a headache for 4 days going off this stuff, I had no idea I was addicted to caffeine so much. I have been told by my dietition that I can not drink any caffeine after RNY sugery because caffiene strips the body of much needed Vitamins and nutrients and that we do not want that.

I'm not stopping cafe for nada in the world. I love cafe from every where. Starbucks it's my favorite. Went from venti to tall also. From mocha latte to skinny mocha with whip cream. Hell I love my whip cream. I don't over do it. From twice a week when I used to work to once every 2-4 weeks max. I switch from regular to decafe.

Starbucks Decaf is working great for me.

Does anyone know what the big deal is about caffeine? I can see in excess but a cup or two of coffee or tea a day? Why not?

Caffeine is a stimulant it makes you more hungry and irritates the bowels....

I'm fine with coffee but now have to use lactose free milk. Not allowed any booze until 3 months out which for me will be May 8th.

I was told coffee will irritate the stomach pouch but even worse is it's a dieuretic. You need to stay hydrated and caffiene interferes with that. I gave up caffiene several weeks ago, and it wasn't too bad aside from having headaches for a week. I was pleasantly surprised and very happy that I am sleeping way better now.

Alcohol is also a dieuretic. It's very bad for your healing stomach. Wine is acidic and will irritate it. With your changed digestive system you will become intoxicated sooner, on less, and it stays in your system longer.

I get very tipsy easily anyway and in my own experience, I eat more and have less self-control when I drink wine. Those two things could be very painful and maybe even dangerous after surgery. I believe it's best to follow your doctors instructions for success and to avoid problems.

only 3 months?! That's early! I was told 6-12 months. I'm waiting until Memorial Day.

I've also picked up a coffee habit in the last few weeks. I try to do Decaf, but I don't always. I want to ditch this new habit before it becomes too bad

I work in Rochester! Does your husband work for a winery in the Finger Lakes? I can't wait until the weather warms up and we can go tasting again

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
